anyway it upated my windows 7 os to 10 daz studio 4.9 worked like a champ before the up date but now it says this program needs opengl 1.3 or greater  it says i have open gl 1.1 

is this a new problem? i have looked all night for a way to install opengl1.3 but no luck my computer is a refurb and has a intel vid card built in the motherboard. i have also tryed to update the 

driver all night to but still the same thing intel says i got the current drivers and windows also says they are the current drivers. my question is how do i get daz to work? i need a good straight 

foward non computer guy answer. im a artist not a computer guy so just think of me like i have never seen a computer before in your answers , thank for the help hope i get back to rendering soon!

OpenGL is part of your video drivers...sorry, but you are probably out of luck, because your Intel video chip will not have Win10 drivers.  You are not going to find a better driver for it, because they do not exist, even though the hardware is capable, Intel has pretty much abandoned that hardware and will not update the drivers for it.

If you can find the exact model of the motherboard, we can determine if it can handle a video card...and it can be practically anything that has more than 'basic' Win10 drivers.

You can uninstall the Windows 10 upgrade, but it does not always work as good as expected, you can still run into problems when it's restored to Windows 7, but it might be worth a try and you can usually fix any problems that remains.

But yes, check if there is any possibility to find drivers that works first of course.

That's similar to the chip my 2008 Mac Mini had before I got rid of it last year when Unity 5 stopped supporting the graphics hardware. The best it dis on os X is openGL 1.2 Full Version with some minor SW only extensions that make it equivalent to OpenGL 2.0.3 if the OS maker decides to implement those SW only features. However, Unity only cared about what was done in the video card driver so it saw only openGL 1.2.

You can try & update them from the Intel site:

That's I had to do when ASUS, Microsoft, and Intel deciding they were not going to upgrade the Windows 7 video driver for my ASUS EP121 Tablet to Windows 8, effectively making the tablet be stuck with Windows 7 (or also - finding someone that had editing a set of Intel video driver install files so I could upgrade to Windows 8 - which someone had done at the PC Tablet Forums).
